    Report summary

    The evaluated doctoral study of the 3rd level of "Maritime and Transport Science" is undoubtedly necessary in the region. In Slovenia, it is carried out in this form only at the Faculty of Maritime Studies and Transport, especially when it comes to topics related to maritime affairs. Nevertheless, the program does not comprehensively cover the field of maritime affairs and even more the very broad field of transport, as this is simply not possible due to the small size of the faculty with limited human resources. The faculty also involves pedagogical staff from other faculties of the University of Ljubljana in the study program, mainly in the role of co-mentors. Likewise, it would be useful to invite experts from the wider community, including from abroad, as holders and performers of subjects in areas that are important for maritime affairs and transport but cannot be handled by the faculty's own staff. Perhaps in this way the faculty could attract a larger number of students, including those from abroad, to the program. Currently, the number of students is very low, although the conditions for running the program are good and the program is currently following the trends in the field it covers. The small number of students allows the study process to be carried out completely individually, mostly in the form of consultations, which is appropriate for the third level of the study program, but students would also like to see more interaction, sharing of opinions, experiences, ideas, etc. Also, the supervision of students and information about their duties related to the preparation of a dissertation should be better coordinated and less dependent on who supervises a particular student.

    Report summary

    The group of experts appointed by decision no. 6034-6/2023/2 visited the institution (Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana) on 4 April 2023. A group of experts harmonized the content of the expert opinion and prepared a joint evaluation report in the evaluation process of the third-level study program "Law" of the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana on the fulfillment of the criteria for the accreditation of the study program and formulated the key findings of the causal evaluation as follows: 18 ● The Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana regularly evaluates the study program (Self-evaluation of the study program, SEP) is regularly carried out in accordance with the guidelines and rules of the University of Ljubljana and is reviewed at the relevant bodies of the faculty and the university). Furthermore, the content of the program it is regularly updated (individually) to ensure its composition and implementation in accordance with potential externalities (COVID-19). The third level program is generally academically sophisticated in terms of content and the academic staff, traditional and recognized and effective in providing suitable highly educated graduates. ● Updating the content of the study program is left to the individual approach of the academic staff(on their own initiative or upon request), who regularly update the content and literature by incorporating current research and practice. ● With the help of the surveys, data is obtained appropriately regarding the adequacy of the implementation of the study program and the method and form of pedagogical work and their workload. The satisfaction of students and academic staff is carried out through a survey or annual conversations with the faculty management. ● The number of contact hours is adjusted to the number of enrolled students. Except for one common course (Theory of Law and Methodology of Legal Research), the other optional courses are individualized and are carried out to a limited extent. The appropriate workload for students and the possibilities for their progress through the program have been determined, which the faculty regularly monitors. ● The achieved competences of the students are in line with the expected competences of the program, which is demonstrated by the final product - a doctoral dissertation (scientific monograph). ● Knowledge is tested in an oral form, which is supplemented by written assessments and is left to the autonomy of the academic staff. Enrollment, transition and completion of studies are analyzed accordingly. The study is individualized and contains a sufficient information base and support from the support staff. ● Determining the needs in the environment is carried out by involving stakeholders, who do not cooperate with the faculty on an institutional level and systematized, but on an ad hoc basis. ● The achievement of scientific and professional work is verified by the publications themselves and by participation in research projects or projects that are implemented through practice. The collection of information and proposals is based on questionnaires filled out by doctoral students. ● The vast majority of all doctoral students are also employed at the faculty (mostly as teaching staff). Students of the doctoral program have the opportunity to participate directly in the work of bodies at the faculty (Senate of the Faculty of Law (all employees participate)). Students also have a representative in the Commission for Doctoral Studies, which is why the group of experts notes that students are adequately informed about the possibility of changing and analyzing the study program. 19 ● All acts relating to the evaluation of the study program are published accordingly. Stakeholders are adequately informed (individually or through online publications) about the findings, the implementation of tasks and the findings of the SEP. ● Professional support services regularly provide information to the doctoral students (also on an individual basis). ● The faculty did not realize the transformation of the doctoral study, nevertheless this is based on its own findings from the reports (that the study program has an inadequate design). From the beginning of its implementation until today, the assessed study program has not undergone major systemic changes, except that the duration of the studies is extended from three to four years (in the academic year 2019/2020). ● The study program is distinctly segmented into the operation of individual departments (9), which cover traditional legal disciplines within the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana. The latter offer a choice of 13 modules as part of doctoral studies, also from the areas of traditional legal disciplines. The current range of optional modules does not offer interdisciplinary modules linking different legal disciplines. Fragmentation is also a consequence of the fact that there are not enough students enrolled in individual modules to carry out group consultations. ● The scientific and research involvement of doctoral students differs depending on students who are employed at the faculty's chairs and those who are employed outside the faculty. ● The support of non-teaching staff to doctoral students is fully adapted to the needs of doctoral students, both their working hours and obligations. Communication takes place via email and phone as well as the faculty's website. ● The Faculty of Law conducts doctoral studies at appropriate premises, which are equipped with suitable equipment that meets the needs of pedagogical, scientificresearch and professional work. Adequate and stable financial resources are provided for the implementation and development of higher education activities at all levels of study programs. ● Active participation in the study process is possible for all students with various forms of disability, as the learning environment is supported by appropriate e-tools (e.g. online classrooms), and the faculty premises are also adapted for persons with disabilities. ● The doctoral study program is promoted at special presentation events and through the academic staff, who invite students whom they consider to be promising to enroll in the assessed study program. Thus, only graduates of the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana are currently enrolled in the program, with a few individual exceptions of doctoral students who come from other countries

Verifiable Credentials

A Verifiable Credential (VC) is a digitally-signed and thus tamper-evident document containing information on a subject (e.g. personal information, entitlements of an individual, degrees held by an individual or accreditation of a higher education institution). Quality assurance results recorded in DEQAR can be downloaded as W3C-compatible Verifiable Credentials.

Currently, two types of credentials can be issued:

EBSI Verifiable Accreditations (VA) can be used by a higher education institution in the context of the EBSI Early Adopters programme.

  • The VA allows the institution to prove its external quality assurance on the Trusted Issuer Registry (TIR). EBSI VAs are only issued for external quality assurance results with an official status in a national system (“part of obligatory EQA system”).
  • At present, the higher education institution’s EBSI DID needs to be communicated to EQAR and recorded in DEQAR manually at the moment. If you are a higher education institution participating in EBSI, please contact us to register your DID.
  • EBSI VAs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:ebsi:zk4bhCepWSYp9RhZkRPiwUL.

DEQAR Format Verifiable Credentials primarily serve as a proof of concept and public demonstrator currently.

  • DEQAR Format VCs are based on the plain W3C Recommendation and our own data model. While they closely follow the EBSI Schema, no EBSI-specific or EU-specific elements or data types are used.
  • The higher education institution is identified by its DEQAR URI in this case.
  • DEQAR Format VCs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:web:data.deqar.eu.

Please note: this is an experimental feature.
